Hi Christina !
Thanks for the new video, these idioms will help me a lot to understand my few foreigner clients.
Personally I prefer the English video because it helps me improving my earing comprehension.
I don’t mind having a few explanations in French but as I can’t practice English every day at work (Although I’d loooove to !) I need to hear English everyday so I don’t lose my skills. Your videos are really helping (more than Vampire Dairies and House of Cards in VO haha ! )
I’m found of your concept anyway.
Have a great day !
Best Regards,
Julie

Hi Julie, Thanks for your comment (and in English too–way to go!) Yes, you’re right that hearing English every day is sooooo important to keep your level up. It’s great that you realize that! And watching series in the undubbed version is one good way to do that, but there are lots others too: songs, videos to learn English (ahem, ahem ;-), podcasts, and language exchanges.

I recently found a partner on the site italki.com so that I can practice Italian (I just started about a week ago, but I think it’s important to start speaking immediately!) I hope that helps and I look forward to seeing you back on the blog for the English videos!

Hi Christina,
Thanks for sharing your videos so refreshing in such a tough world ;-(.
I like them with a mix of French and English 😉 mais je préfère entendre l’anglais américain le plus possible !
Take care!

Hi Céline, Thanks so much! Yes, I try to bring a positive attitude to English and language learning, because learning a language should be a fun adventure, not a boring subject or just a professional obligation. Plus, I can have fun making the videos too 😉

And I think I’ll take your suggestion–it’s what Blandine, François, Julie and Jules have also suggested, and I think it’s a good idea for future videos. This way the community can have practice learning and hearing English, but also some little “inside jokes” between us in French!

HI Christina,
Thank you for the video! It was great to hear you in French. I love your accent 😉
When you talk in English during the video it’s additiobal time for us to practice our listening and understanding. For this reason I prefer the videos in English!
Thank you again for your great help and for your work. You are awesome!
